OSU High Gets Second Straight Win

[excerpt]
Taking the crown in high school football, Osaka Sangyo University High School (from Kansai) crushed Kanagawa's Hosei II High School (from Kanto) 64-0 in the "Christmas Bowl" (held yesterday at the Osaka Nagai Stadium), winning the National High School Championship Tournament title in American football for the third time and two years in a row.

Agility Unimpaired by Hearing Disability
Actively participating since last year as a regular despite a hearing disability, OSU High's defensive back, Yamamoto, played a central role in the team's shutout victory. His near intercept of a pass at the start of the fourth quarter and repulse of counter-offensives by Hosei II High displayed no hint of a handicap. In April, Yamamoto has been accepted to attend Kinki University and continue playing American football. Expressing his ambition, he says, "I want to be an asset to the team from first year on."
